good guy, Pan Yueming played a lot this time.
didn't take any precautions, his new drama suddenly started, and 4 episodes were released in one go!
There was only 1 hour between the information about the promotion of the play (19:00) and the official broadcast.
only leaves the audience 60 minutes of "prep time", and the show is really confident.
And this work is the long-awaited blockbuster IP:
"Kunlun Shrine"
Anyone who is familiar with this work knows that the story line of the Ghost Blowing Lamp series is not complicated.
It tells the story of the "Golden Trio" formed by the male protagonist Hu Bayi and his companions Wang Fatzi and Sydney Yang, who came to the Kunlun Snow Region to explore the tomb.
After going through the first three adventures in the desert ancient city, Longling in Shaanxi, and Insect Valley in Yunnan, the three followed the clues to find out the cause of the bizarre acne on their bodies and went to Tibet to explore...
The plot is very simple, but the highlights are not. few.
is about to start broadcasting, let's talk about the highlights of this "Kunlun Shrine".
01, the taste is pure, the familiar Iron Triangle is here
mentioned this web drama, the most worth looking forward to is definitely the trio of protagonists composed of Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi , Jiang Chao . In the multiple versions of
's remakes of Ghost Blowing Lamp, they are the golden triangle with good reputation.
Two years ago, the "Longling Labyrinth" co-starred by the three of them is still the highest score of the Ghost Blowing Lamp series - 8.1.
Including today's "Kunlun Shrine", the Pan Edition Mojin trio has cooperated with 3 ghost blowing lamp IPs so far, and the tacit understanding is very high.
The combination of
has a good reputation for two reasons;
is the first, called matching degree;
is not completely close to the original, but their interpretation of the characters is in place.
Let's first talk about the male protagonist Hu Bayi , in the original book, he is calm when he is in trouble, and he is the intellectual responsibility of the protagonist group.
But at the same time, the character is also full of cunning publicity and a bit slippery.
In performing the role, Pan Yueming has pinpointed the character's attributes very well.
, from calmly presiding over the overall situation when the exploration was blocked, to all kinds of gags and nonsense on weekdays, the ruffian handsome is very stable.
Next is the heroine Sydney Yang , a Chinese archaeologist who came to China to find his father and became teammates with the protagonist group.
and Zhang Yuqi played the character's cold and sassy attributes very well.
statically, the character exudes an intellectual aura of an independent woman;
and once it moves, the gesture of jumping into the battle is also very vivid.
Further down, it's Fatty Wang played by Jiang Chao.
I have to say that Jiang Chao, who has been quiet for a long time, has come to fit his role.
, whether it is a lovable and fat appearance, or a pompous style of gag, all meet the definition of the optimist fat Wang in the novel.
Jiang Chao, who has been deeply involved in sitcoms for many years, will play a likable "little fat man" this time, and he is naturally familiar with it. The second reason for
is that there are fewer shortcomings; the combination of
is inevitably flawed, but at this time, the difference in the worst link can be seen in the differences between versions.
There are many recognized failure cases in the casting of various versions of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". In the
movie "Nine-Layered Demon Tower", Zhao Youting's version of the roaring Hu Bayi makes people play, and Yao Chen's version of Sydney Yang is also rare. In the
online drama "Wangpizi Grave", , Ethan Ruan version of Hong Kong and Taiwanese Hu Bayi and the thin version of Wang Fatzi also caused complaints from netizens.
In contrast, except for Pan Yueming's increasingly bloated body, Pan's version of the Audio-Technica does not have much groove as a whole.
and in actual interpretation, they are also recognized as the version with the most suitable temperament to the original.
is not easy to put together a suitable iron triangle, so it is still the same sentence:
Yueming brother! Lose weight quickly!
02, old drama bones + mysterious newcomers, hidden surprises in the supporting roles? A major feature of the IP of
"Ghost Blowing Lamp" lies in the iron triangle of and the supporting role of . In the process of
exploring the tombs of different historical sites, the trio of gold-finishing also generated sparks under the collision with different characters.
's most acclaimed supporting role appeared in the online drama "Longling Grotto";
When the protagonist group explored the secrets of Longling, Shaanxi, they encountered entanglement with villagers led by villager Ma Bold.
Under the performance of actor Zhou Xiaoou, Ma Bold, who flashes his true temperament in the shrunken, is impressive, and the character's phrase "wisdom with ideas" once became a hot word on the Internet.
In this trip to Kunlun, there may be similar surprise characters in the supporting cast. In
, the opportunistic wealthy Hong Kong businessman Ming Uncle's interest in the Kunlun snowy treasures promoted the development of the plot, and he also brought a team to the snowy mountains.
Judging from the trailer, there are not a lot of outstanding supporting roles.
is the first, Tang Zhenye; in the
drama, this old Hong Kong actor plays Uncle Ming, a wealthy Hong Kong businessman. In the plot of
, this is a greedy businessman who loves money like his life.
, who coveted the hidden treasure, also made some actions to pit his teammates during the tomb visit.
This is not allowed to be touched, he prefers to touch it.
didn't let him move, he was biased, and he still had some crooked logic of his own.
Judging from the preview and tidbits, Tang Zhenye's interpretation of Uncle Ming is very real, and I look forward to his interpretation of the most infuriating character in the book "Kunlun Shrine".
second place, Sha Baoliang;
is analogous to Zhou Xiaoou who plays Ma Bold in "Longling Labyrinth", and Sha Baoliang is also a veteran of acting and singing. In the
play, he plays the mysterious Tibetan man Ake, who is the original character of the TV series;
Judging from the preview, Ake seems to be the Tibetan guide of the male protagonist.
and his deep and serious eyes also showed his awe of the surroundings during the tomb exploration.
Sha Baoliang, who appeared in a messy appearance, deliberately sacrificed his image this time, which also makes people look forward to his performance.
ranked third, Wen Qing; the name
is basically unknown to the outside world.
don't blame me or you because she's a newcomer. There is very little information on the
network, and there are even no rated works, and the resume is relatively mysterious.
And the mysterious tone of the actor is also somewhat in line with the mysterious woman A Xiang she plays.
Ah Xiang, who followed Uncle Ming, is a woman with "special abilities" in her eyes.
But behind the "superpower" of her eyes, she hides a sad past. In the
trailer, Wen Qing's eyes are pure and full of sadness, and the character's story is full of sense.
In addition to these three new supporting characters, the heroine and grandfather who appeared in previous seasons, the mountain mover Partridge Whistle ( Gao Weiguang ), is also expected to make a surprise return.
In the online drama " Nuqing Xiangxi " (Note: adapted from Ghost Blowing Lamp IP No. 7, telling the story of the heroine's ancestors visiting the tomb), the young partridge whistle played by Gao Weiguang received a lot of praise and became a popular character.
In this preview of "Kunlun Shrine", the young version of Partridge Whistle is in the same frame as granddaughter Xue Li Yang "Frozen Age".
The way in which the popular character Partridge Whistle will join the plot has also sparked speculation.
03, hard-core restoration, the style of tomb exploration is still dazzling
Ghost Blowing Light IP Another selling point that has to be mentioned is the immersive experience of tomb exploration.
accompanies the protagonist's tomb exploration tour in different regions. While the audience sees different "magical species", they also experience the exciting exploration process brought by different tombs.
In the web drama "Longling Labyrinth", , the process of exploring the tomb of Longling, restores the dense and frightening images of human-faced spiders and iron-headed dragon kings.
In in "Insect Valley of Yunnan", in the haze and miasma, we also appreciate the human-shaped figurines, blood coffins and blue pythons that make people unable to sleep at night...
The experience of watching the drama is just like Fatty Wang At this time, the expression:
And this time "Kunlun Shrine", the similar hardcore experience is even added;
The first piece, let's talk about the magical creatures in the tomb; " Eating Sin Balu ", this evil beast appeared sideways in the trailer. In the
shot, Eating Sin Balu was pressed under the body by Fatty Wang who fell from the sky.
As can be seen from the style of painting here, the contrast has been The sturdy Wang Fatty, Eating Sin Balu's physique is far superior to the other party...
and what it looks like has also caused speculation.
Another example is the terrifying Xue Maitreya; in the setting of
, this is a I like magical creatures that burrow into corpses.
, combined with the corpse, looks like a white flesh skin with clothes and a vague human shape from a distance...
In the trailer, Xue Maitreya appeared in the image of a strange faceless monster. The style of painting is really scary enough...
In addition, some magical creatures such as dapp ghosts, white-bearded fish, salamanders will also appear in this play, and these images are more or less It will not appear in the trailer. The second block of
is a curious environment;
comes into view, first of all kinds of cold and bleak Tibetan snow-capped mountains, making people feel the bleak environment; The mystery and magnificence of the nine-story demon building is unforgettable.
At the same time, the design of various organs is also dazzling.
is more eye-catching, and the trailer also appears in the original book "Glacier Crystal Corpse". This vivid picture is really lingering in my mind.
The third is a dangerous atmosphere;
or a sudden avalanche, which makes people feel helpless in the face of nature; z is either the siege of the Tibetan creatures, the wolf king surrounded the protagonist with the wolves;
and entered the tomb, it is the sneak attack of various magical creatures; A scary word?
Judging from the trailer, "Kunlun Shrine" does a great job of creating a tense and exciting atmosphere of the original.
It is worth mentioning that in order to restore the reality as much as possible, this drama also uses the method of real scene + special effects to shoot.
In addition to the special effects that had to be used technically, the snow scenes were all shot by the crew on the high-altitude snow-capped mountains, and the highest altitude once reached 4850 meters.
I hope this time, the look and feel of this show has lived up to the efforts of the crew.
04, "Kunlun Shrine" was filmed for the first time, the universe of Ghost Blowing Lights expanded
Pan Yueming's new drama was launched, and it was also the fourth work of Ghost Blowing Lights series "Kunlun Shrine" was put on the screen for the first time.
Here, I need to popularize the composition of the Ghost Blowing Lamp series. The original works of
are divided into 8 parts. The first 4 parts are the original IP drafts of 's original plan to sing . There is an obvious main line connection in the plot.
and the last four are the prequels and plot extensions made by Tianxia Ba Sing based on market demand and reader feedback. In the original order of
, the first four correspond to "The Ancient City", "Longling Labyrinth", "Yunnan Insect Valley" and "Kunlun Shrine". The last four volumes of
are "Huangpizifen", "Returning to the South China Sea", "Nuqing Xiangxi", and "Wuxia Coffin Mountain", of which the two books "Yellow" and "Wrath" are prequel works.
The world view of the ghost blowing lamp is too complicated, and the shooting difficulty of each work is also different. On this basis,
has a lot of unbalanced chapters that have been remade many times, but some chapters are not cared about.
but it's not easy to shoot, it doesn't mean you can't shoot.
Since 2016, a plan to film the IP universe of Ghost Blowing Lamp has been unfolding.
In 2016, 's web drama "Essential Ancient City" (IP first book), created by Noon Sunshine and starring Jin Dong, was launched. The
drama Wang Noon Sunshine performed stably, and the reasonable adaptation of the plot and precise casting made the drama well received, and finally scored a high score of 7.9;
Produced by Guan Hu and directed by Fei Zhenxiang and directed by , the two prequel films "Huangpizifen" (IP 5th) and "Nu Qing Xiangxi" (IP 7th) took the lead in testing the waters in the market. Qingxiangxi" scored over 7 points.
In 2020 , Pan Yueming's version of "Longling Grotto" (IP 2nd book) will follow the story of Jin Dong's version of "Jing Jue Ancient City".
received unprecedented praise, and "Longling Labyrinth" with a brilliant plot jumped to a new IP record of 8.1 points.
Following the release of the third IP book "Insect Valley of Yunnan" in 2021, the fourth IP book "Kunlun Shrine" , which is extremely difficult to shoot and has never been filmed by anyone, will also be launched tonight.
Pan Yueming and other crew members have also exposed their ambitions to expand the universe of ghost blowing lights.
In general, this "Kunlun Shrine" is full of highlights, whether it is the cast or the quality of the preview.
But the ugly words are at the front, the show still has some worrying problems, if not solved, it will be a hidden danger;
The first point is the impact of a temporary change of director;
Although the show is still from the Guanhu team, the director The director of the play has been replaced by Fei Zhenxiang, director of the past few films, to , Cai Yuexun, , director of Baodao Taiwan.
Cai Yuexun, known as the "Godfather of Taiwan Puppets", once directed idol dramas such as " Meteor Garden " which became popular in Asia.
But in recent years, he came to the mainland to develop, but Cai Yuexun was obviously not satisfied.
" Late Night Cafeteria " directed by him scored as low as 2.8 because of its ungrounded and exaggerated plot.
And the appearance of Cai Yuexun in the director list this time also caused concern among netizens.
, who is used to directing idol dramas, this time he switched to the theme of tomb robbery. Whether he will add industrial saccharin like idol dramas to the plot has also become a factor of concern for the outside world.
The second point is the hidden danger of "superfluous" in the plot;
Although Pan Yueming's version of the Iron Triangle has a good reputation, I have to admit that their "Yunnan Insect Valley" shot last year hit the streets, with a very low score of 6.1.
discussed the reasons for the decline in the popularity of the work, and the random addition of characters in the plot should be blamed; in the
online drama "Insect Valley of Yunnan", too many local villagers have been added to the main line of the plot.
In the villagers line, which is boring and has too many scenes, the appearance of these supporting roles even affects the overall look and feel of the play, which has also become a point of complaints from many audiences.
This "Kunlun Shrine" also has obvious original plots.
Sha Baoliang plays Ake's new role in the drama version, and this time it will be a surprise appearance or a "plot burden", and the plot will be in-depth. The third point of
is the character attribute of the old tune;
's questioning voice is mainly a small complaint about Pan Yueming's Hu Bayi and Jiang Chao's Fatty Wang;
's "question" about Pan Yueming's version of Hu Bayi was mentioned earlier , is that Pan Yueming's increasingly bloated body does not match the attributes of the character veterans.
still said that, Lao Pan really needs to lose weight.
Jiang Chao's Fatty Wang lies in the weakening of the character. In
"Insect Valley of Yunnan", the "epic weakening" of Fatty Wang played by Jiang Chao became a slot. In the original work of
, Fatty Wang, who is thick and thin, and who is very good at fighting, was infinitely reduced in combat effectiveness in "Insect Valley of Yunnan".
I hope the Guanhu team can give Fatty Wang more room to play in the new version after hearing the audience's complaints.
The heroic fat man with a gun chug is the correct way to open this role.
And about Pan Yueming's version of Ghost Blowing Lamp is to reshape the glory of "Longling Labyrinth", and it is a shame to open "The Return of the King".
is still stuck in the quagmire of "Yunnan Insect Valley" and continues to attract criticism. We can only speak with the upcoming plot.
And after watching the trailer and other information, and the texture is not bad, I am willing to reserve certain expectations for "Kunlun Shrine".
At least, such a suitable golden triangle is hard to come by. I hope the crew can take good care of it.
